Party Tips

I just sent out my very first evite for the holiday season. Evite. Are you familiar? It's the best thing since sliced bread. Now, no. It is not a classy, handwritten, personal invitation. But, in this day and age, it's a wonderful tool. You choose your invitation, you write your own invitation, you invite folks via email to your shindigs, and then folks can RSVP, via the evite. It also allows you to choose a map option, which allows your guests to print a map to your home, freeing up your time to blog, instead of copy directions over and over. You are able keep up with attendees, what they are bringing, how many in their party, etc. It's amazing. Check it out, if you aren't familiar. For informal occasions, evite is a blessing.

Next.
Plum Party. This wonderful little company has Etch It Cups. Go here to order them. These are the red cups. They also come in clear and I don't remember what else. I don't personally, like to drink out of plastic. Call me a mason jar snob. But, these cups are fun to personalize and it helps keep slobber from being swapped, by picking up the wrong cup.

Are there any companies, products or tips you'd like to share to help your fellow bloggers this holiday season?

  1. I have never heard of those Etch-it cups. What a great idea!

    I used to use Evite all the time and loved it! We just haven't had many parties in the last couple years.

    Hehe. And I'm a glass snob too. You won't see me drinking out of plastic too often.

  2. Those cups are a great idea. I always use those plastic red cups and then put out a sharpie. These are much cooler.

    I've always wanted mason jar glasses! My hubby thinks I'm crazy.

  3. I'm kind of with your hubby on this one, Tricia. Those mason jars are not made for drinking. They have a diagonal thread for the lid that makes sure my bottom lip never quite makes a tight seal. Mindy doesn't dribble as much as I do, though. I think her lips are just softer. Maybe men dislike drinking from mason jars due to our less pliable, non-conforming lower lips. Just a theory. But I digress. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. ;-) But the etch-it cups are cool... and fun.

  4. In regard to David and his dribble issues: Bless his heart. Does anyone want to call him on that non-pliable lip thing, or shall we let him live with that belief? ha! I'll just let him drink out of jelly jars instead. No biggie. ~Mindy
